Here we begin our story on one half of the legendary Lennon-McCartney songwriting duo. Paul is a man built with charisma and determination, someone who doesn’t understand no and works hard for his success. But he has had his hurdles to jump along the way, meeting each challenge with his business savvy and positive thinking. […]
In this episode we take a look at the rest of George’s legacy, with a few tidbits from his time in the Beatles and beyond. Not only was music important to him, but his spirituality was a driving factor in many things that he did. There will be some relationships that fail, and others that […]
Known as the “silent Beatle”, George Harrison was the youngest member of the band, but that didn’t mean he had a lack of any talent. The true dark horse of The Beatles, some of their biggest hits would be penned by this man. But for now we’re going to tell you about baby George, how […]
We’re taking the next several weeks to look at each Beatle as an individual, and we’re starting with someone who raises different controversy than the other three.

It’s time to close up another year, this one being much spicier than others. But we still want to give you our top 10 songs that we heard this year. And in true Rock Candy fashion, Maggie keeps it dancey while Ashleigh keeps it metal. We get properly drunk and go on our usual tangents […]

This week we delve into the age old question, does music actually have any influence on the people that commit crimes?

Addictions and depression still threaten to bring down the whole operation and Trent […]
We start to tell the tale of the band that brought industrial music to the mainstream, or more specifically, the man.
